Removing Arbor - Grizzly G7944 Owner's Manual

Removing Arbor

The arbor can be removed to install other Morse
Taper tooling in the spindle. A drift key is included
to help remove the arbor or other tooling from
the spindle. Usually, once the chuck and arbor
have been properly mounted together, they are
considered semi-permanent connections. (If
you would like to install a different chuck, we
recommend getting a new arbor for that chuck.)
To remove the drill chuck and arbor:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Rotate the spindle handles until the drift-key
slot is exposed in the side of the quill.
3. Loosen the lock knob and rotate the hub
clockwise (see Figure 33) until it stops.

Tighten the lock knob. The quill should not
return up into the head casting when the
depth stop is adjusted this way.
5. Move the table up until it is
tom of the chuck, and place a towel or cloth
under the chuck.

when the slot is properly aligned.

Insert the drift key into the drift-key slot, and
allow the quill to rise, trapping the drift key.

mallet, as shown in Figure 35, until the chuck
releases.
